Now, I almost am afraid to buy from Kobo, because if they go belly-up, I've got a pretty large library with them to worry about. But Kobo is owned by Rakuten now, and it seems like they may be on a solid financial footing. Of course, I guess that they could always "spin it off" and let it die.
Thanks for your additional posts. I was not aware of some of them.

As someone with a humongous side-loaded library, I've got a couple of Nook and Kobo readers because Amazon doesn't put very much memory in their Kindles. I could be wrong, but Kobo is more likely to succeed than B&N because B&N has more or less admitted that they've given up on eInk readers. Kobo will price match anyone, so if they've got something, they're actually the cheapest seller because the price match is for 90% of the other guys. So I really think that if unless you've decided it's Amazon all the time, you really ought to be buying everything from Kobo especially if you have an ePub reader (which I see you probably don't).
